Systematic reviews provide a transparent and robust summary of existing research. However, health system managers, national and local policy makers and healthcare professionals can face several obstacles when attempting to utilise this evidence. These inc
- Interventions to improve water quality and supply, sanitation and hygiene practices, and their effects on the nutritional status of children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2013
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions are frequently implemented to reduce infectious diseases, and may be linked to improved nutrition outcomes in children.
- Interventions to improve water quality for preventing diarrhoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Oct-2015
Diarrhoea is a major cause of death and disease, especially among young children in low-income countries. In these settings, many infectious agents associated with diarrhoea are spread through water contaminated with faeces.
- Interventions to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene for preventing soil‐transmitted helminth infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jun-2022
It is estimated that 1.5 billion people are infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) worldwide. Re-infection occurs rapidly following deworming, and interruption of transmission is unlikely without complementary control efforts such as improvements
- Interventions to increase adherence to medications for tobacco dependence
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2015
Pharmacological treatments for tobacco dependence, such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), have been shown to be safe and effective interventions for smoking cessation. Higher levels of adherence to these medications increase the likelihood of sustai
- Interventions to increase clinical incident reporting in health care
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jul-2012
Reporting of adverse clinical events is thought to be an effective method of improving the safety of healthcare. Underreporting of these adverse events is often said to occur with consequence of missing of opportunities to learn from these incidents. A cl
- Interventions to increase COVID‐19 vaccine uptake: a scoping review
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2022
Vaccines are effective in preventing severe COVID-19, a disease for which few treatments are available and which can lead to disability or death. Widespread vaccination against COVID-19 may help protect those not yet able to get vaccinated. In addition, n
- Interventions to increase influenza vaccination rates of those 60 years and older in the community
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jun-2014
The effectiveness of interventions to increase the uptake of influenza vaccination in people aged 60 and older is uncertain.
- Interventions to increase the reporting of occupational diseases by physicians
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Mar-2015
Under-reporting of occupational diseases is an important issue worldwide. The collection of reliable data is essential for public health officials to plan intervention programmes to prevent occupational diseases. Little is known about the effects of inter
- Interventions to increase the use of electronic health information by healthcare practitioners to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Mar-2015
There is a large volume of health information available, and, if applied in clinical practice, may contribute to effective patient care. Despite an abundance of information, sub-optimal care is common. Many factors influence practitioners' use of health i
- Interventions to manage dual practice among health workers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2011
Dual practice, whereby health workers hold two or more jobs, is a common phenomenon globally. In resource constrained low- and middle-income countries dual practice poses an ongoing threat to the efficiency, quality and equity of health services, especial

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2010
Homeless youth are at high risk for HIV infection as a consequence of risky sexual behaviour. Interventions for homeless youth are challenging. Assessment of the effectiveness of interventions to modify sexual risk behaviours for preventing HIV in homeles
- Interventions to optimise prescribing for older people in care homes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2016
There is a substantial body of evidence that prescribing for care home residents is suboptimal and requires improvement. Consequently, there is a need to identify effective interventions to optimise prescribing and resident outcomes in this context. This
- Interventions to prevent hypothermia at birth in preterm and/or low birthweight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2010
Keeping vulnerable preterm infants warm is problematic even when recommended routine thermal care guidelines are followed in the delivery suite.
- Interventions to prevent injuries in construction workers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Dec-2012
Construction workers are frequently exposed to various types of injury-inducing hazards. A number of injury prevention interventions have been proposed, yet their effectiveness is uncertain.
- Interventions to prevent occupational noise-induced hearing loss
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Aug-2012
